Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and PM-in-waiting Imran Khan on Wednesday nominated former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) sports minister Mahmood Khan for provincial chief minister.
“PTI Chairman Imran Khan chose Mahmood Khan, MPA-elect from PK-9 (Swat) who secured 25,697 votes, as the chief minister of the province,” according to the PTI’s media cell.
Sources within the party said that Mahmood Khan was also former KP CM Pervez Khattak’s choice for the KP CM seat. Born in Swat’s Matta tehsil in 1972, Mahmood Khan completed matriculation and intermediate exams from a public school. Mahmood Khan got master’s degree in agriculture from Peshawar University.
He participated in the 2008 local elections as an independent candidate and was elected the Union Council Nazim for Kheri.
This is the second consecutive time that Mahmood Khan has become part of the KP assembly. He was the agriculture minister from 2013 to 2015 after which his portfolio was changed to minister of sports, culture and tourism until the end of the former KP government.
